	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   ACR 150, Aanestad.  Blue Star Memorial Highway.
   This measure would request the Department of Transportation to
grant to the Kelly Ridge Garden Club of California Garden Clubs,
Inc., without charge, an encroachment permit that will authorize an
appropriate marker to be placed at the roadside rest stop on scenic
State Highway Route 70 by the Feather River in Belden, California.
   The measure would also designate the portion of State Highway
Route 70, between the Cities of Marysville and Hallelujah Junction,
as a Blue Star Memorial Highway.
   The measure would request the department to erect appropriate
plaques and markers, consistent with signing requirements for the
state highway system, showing that special designation upon receiving
donations that have been previously collected from nonstate sources
covering that cost.
